Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Miamiville, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Miamiville where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
